Just moved to Central Florida and need help identifying this grass so I can kill the weeds without hurting the grass. Thanks in advanced.

    If you’re asking for help with identifying a weed and/or type of grass, please include close-up photos showing as much detail as possible.

    For grasses, it is especially important to get close photos from multiple angles. It is rarely possible to identify a grass from more than 5 feet away. In order to get accurate identifications, the more features of the grass you show the more likely you are to get an accurate identification. Features such as, [ligules](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/180.png.jpg?itok=D5yNs0l8) (which can be hairy, absent entirely, or membranous (papery) like the photo), [auricles](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/Grasses%20at%20a%20Glance%20Blog%20Pictures.png.jpg?itok=PLrWX4q-), any hairs present, roots, and stems. General location can also be helpful.

    OP, please respond to this comment with any additional pictures if needed.

  2. That’s some thick and healthy st Augustine. Atrazine is probably easier on it but can be harder on other things, it’s banned in Europe. One of the common ingredients in products made for st Augustine.

    Celsius WG is good in the summer when it’s hot and you can’t use other herbicides with heat restrictions.

    Image for Southern lawn at lower rates when temps are below 85. Need to be a little more careful with this one because it has 2-4D which can harm st Augustine in higher rates or warmer temperatures. But it’s a pretty cheap herbicide compared to Celsius
